How do Snoring Devices Work?

Snoring is more than a minor inconvenience or annoyance, as anyone who snores excessively can probably tell you.  Snoring can lead to throat soreness which leads to headaches and other pains when you wake up, and moreover, it does not allow you to take a sound sleep   So it's no wonder that there is no limit to the number of snoring devices that are available today!  What is the best way to determine the appropriate snoring devices for you which will yield the most positives?

First, you must understand what is actually causing you to snore.  For many it's simply because they sleep on their back so that their head falls back and their mouth falls open.  This causes them to breath through their mouth, which is unnatural.  In these instances, the best snoring device to use might be a basic snore pillow to cradle and support your head as you sleep.  Body pillows that you place under the small of your back will prop you up and make great snoring devices.  This will give you more success in refraining from rolling onto your back than any other home remedies.

Mouth guards are another snoring devices that keep the jaw aligned.  Mouth guards shouldn't interfere with a good night's sleep as long as they're properly fitted by your dentist.   This is why it's important to have it fitted properly; one that's too loose will not keep your jaw in place and one that's not loose enough will be painful to wear.  If the mouth guard doesn't stop your snoring, you can check with your doctor/dentist for recommendations of other devices on the market.

Of course there are many snoring devices and snoring aids you can purchase right at your pharmacy.  Nasal strips that widen your airways by pulling out on your nostrils have been shown to work for a large number of people.  {Drops and sprays can help to keep your throat coated and moist.}  You can also put a humidifier or vaporizer in your bedroom; you might not think of these as snoring devices but they do help to keep your throat moist as well.  There seems to be some relief from snoring with all of these remedies.
